Amazing contribution Owen to the @snap_trial community! The whole study only works because of your kind of engagement.
Yesterday my team and I enrolled the 500th patient in SNAP trial between RPH and FSH (50/50 platform/registry). So proud to be part of such an amazing project which will change the way we treat S aureus bacteremia @SNAPtrial @Josh_S_Davis @syctong.

Thanks @PaulSaxMD for highlighting @snap_trial !. @TheDohertyInst @ESCMID @UniMelbMDHS #IDTwitter @Josh_S_Davis.
The SNAP trial may finally resolve some of the longest-running debates in SAB management (cefazolin vs semi-synthetic PCN? Is PCN really active vs PSSA?). Congrats to @syctong @Josh_S_Davis, and the global team who made this ambitious trial happen.

Amazing summary of the SNAP/CLOCEBA session from yestereday #ESCMIDGlobal. Thanks for posting @bryan_p_white. Nailed all the key points!.
SNAP/COLCEBA trial session starting now @syctong @Josh_S_Davis @ABsteward .Staph aureus causes 1 million deaths per year worldwide. Less than 4.5k randomized in staph aureus bacteremia. Randomized care is better than random care. SNAP platform started on a napkin. #ESCMIDGlobal
